susandennisI'm not quite sure why I can't get all in a tizzy about the Mariner's perfect game yesterday. It was fun and a little thrilling right there at the end but, honestly, I've seen more much thrilling and exciting baseball. At least we won a game. And the Mariners got some much needed positive national publicity. And there was a fair amount of post game frenzy in the 'hood after. It was fun. It was.
I did spend some time yesterday getting my resume tweaked - all versions, web, word, txt and pdf. Done. I got a letter that I have to go to a job hunting seminar on Monday in order to continue getting unemployment benefits. The instructions said to bring your resume so I got 'er done.
For my first real job hunt, back in the 70's, my Dad gave me a beautiful gift. It's a very classy looking case to hold papers. It does not hold many but is perfect for toting your resume, a few work samples, some reference letters and it says 'I am way too cool for you not to hire me.' I've taken it on every single job interview for the last 40 years. Yesterday I pulled it out, cleaned it out and put my latest resume and cards in it, ready to go.
This morning I found some more focus group data bases to add me into and some paid survey outfits.
It is way too hot to do anything more. Today and tomorrow are going to be too hot to do anything. Fortunately, I don't have anything that has to be done. I might not even go to the pool. I don't have to decide right now and I do love that.
I do think I'll take a cool shower right now.
